Yahoo Sports lists the top 25 most powerful people in Boxing

[Capaedia]

Manny is top 10 most powerful persons in the world. and these guys dont even count there.

You're kidding me

most powerful people in boxing:

1. Don King

2. Don King

3. Bob Arum

4. Joe Cortez



and THEN Floyd Mayweather jr

Don King has been irrelevant for a long time

The most noteworthy statement made in this article IMO, which no one has yet mentioned, is that Iole said that Ring Magazine is a propaganda tool for Richard Schaefer. Interesting to see how Fischer and crew react to that one.

50 Cent above Bob Arum. LOL

[Unseen]

That doesn't make him any less powerful than he clearly is. Look at what he's done.

50 is flexing his power in boxing right now, you're all witnesses.

I am still waiting.

He got his promoters license he has signed Yuriorkis Gamboa, Andre Dirrell, Celestino Caballero, Billy Dib, and Zab Judah. He is best friends with the best Pound for Pound fighter in the world and has a net worth exceeding $250 million and has over 7 million twitter followers.

Gamboa I don't even know wtf he is doing these days
Dirrell out of that mental home yet?
Caballero retired yet?
Dib taken that Mexican Russian fists out his face yet?
Judah? Er OK but he lost to Paulie and was with GBP

He was careful to qualify it with "when needs be"

[Sirius Dogon]

50 Cent ahead of Mayweather?WTF

[TheGR8TESTOAT]

Garbage list. Hate him or love him Arum's still the most powerful man in the biz till he dies or goes out of commission. Todd wont even be able to take over Top Rank they'll get eaten alive by Golden Boy at that point.

[Dr Rumack]

Can't believe Don Jose didn't even get a mention.
